This is simply not true.

BTW one Maxwell is the unit of mag. flux in CGS system.

Newton - after Sir Isaac Newton, an Englishman, a unit of force.
Coulomb - after a Frenchman Charles Augiustin de Coulomb, a unit of charge.
Ampere - after Anfre Marie Amper, a frenchman., a unit of current.
Volt - after Alessandro Volta, an italian, a unit of voltage.
Kelvin - a scottsman, 1st Baron Lord Kelvin, England - a unit of temperature.

BTW there are only two named units amongst the base units and those are Ampere and Kelvin.

And it is no one's fault that most of the prominent physicists were from Germany.
And Maxwell was BTW one of the most active proponents of the SI.

And, speaking of civilization....three countries in the whole world have not adopted the SI.
Those are:

Burma
Liberia
USA


We are in a mighty good company....
